Baltimore Mob Reunion

It was an offer from Chazz Palminteri that the cast from "A Bronx Tale" couldn't refuse.

It was actually an invitation to a special fundraising happy hour.

The namesake of Chazz: A Bronx Original here in Baltimore has invited cast members from the 1993 film based on his one man Broadway show to join him at his restaurant for a very special reunion.

It was a little more than a year ago when Chazz brought the flavor if his native Bronx to Baltimore with Chazz: A Bronx Original at Harbor East.

Now he's bringing to town his acting buddies from "A Bronx Tale" for a happy hour reunion to benefit the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation.

And as a thank you to sorts to the folks in Baltimore who have supported his new restaurant over the last year, Chazz has invited the public to the happy hour to meet cast members from the movie. There will also be Baltimore sports figures and celebrities on hand at the happy hour.

The event at his restaurant launches a new charitable fundraising campaign for the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation.

It was great to see Chazz again when he came by the station to talk about the special charity reunion at his restaurant.

Chazz even remembered coming to WBAL a few years ago for an interview with me when he was in town performing in his one-man Broadway show "A Bronx Tale".

And as you can tell by the photo of us at the top of this blog, Chazz said he enjoyed my feature from that interview so much that he even took off his dark glasses to take a photo with me ahead of his "A Bronx Tale" reunion at Chazz: A Bronx Original.
